Noah Wolf #26

Olympus Must Fall

Rate this book
IN A WORLD WHERE UNSEEN RULERS SHAPE HISTORY... Noah Wolf is quickly becoming one of the top names in the world of espionage. With well over 2 million copies sold and hundreds of thousands of five-star reviews, this perennial USA Today bestselling series will be sure to keep your heart pounding well into the night.

Noah Wolf and his team stand alone against their most powerful enemy yet—the Council, an elite cabal manipulating governments, economies, and wars from the shadows.

Hunted across the globe, Noah’s mission takes him from the frozen wastelands of Siberia to the depths of the Parisian catacombs, as the Council prepares to activate Olympus, an AI-driven system designed to seize absolute control over the world’s financial and political order.

But as Noah fights to prevent the coming collapse, the battle turns personal. His daughter, Norah, is alive—but trapped in the heart of the Council’s assassin program. And his closest allies are falling one by one.

Meanwhile, Allison Peterson climbs toward the highest ranks of the enemy—the Inner Council, the true architects of power. But as she navigates a world of deception and absolute control, every move she makes could secure her place among the elite—or seal her fate as their next casualty.

As war erupts in the shadows, alliances fracture, secrets unravel, and the future of the world teeters on the edge of oblivion. This is Noah Wolf’s greatest battle—a final reckoning where the price of victory may be everything he holds dear.

Fans of Child, Flynn, Clancy, and others will find common cause with the man who must do what it takes to keep his country safe. David Archer's breakthrough series is rampant with action, betrayal, politics, and yes...death. If that makes you feel all warm and cozy inside, be sure to give this series a shot!

Enough already

I've been reading the Noah Wolf books for years, and this one may be the last for me. Stylistically it seems a turning point for the author as well. I found myself getting tired.of endless calamities that ended chapters, only to be surpassed by the next one.and the next, ad infinitum. When you add to that the destruction of the carefully built world from the previous books, the deaths of numerous characters and the prequel blurb for the next book where we know "good will triumph over.evil.and Noah and TBE remains of his team.will fight on..." Well, there's none of the anticipation I used to have. That doesn't mean I won't be buying the.book, but it no longer is on my "gotta pre-order the next volume" list. As they say, all things must pass....

Fast paced and action packed

It really doesn't stop from the very beginning to the very end
Unfortunately the down side is that whilst Noah and the team run around trying to shutdown the Council, it is actually the Council and specifically Alison, that is leading them around like a dog on a lead
No amount of heroics should have allowed Noah and Co to survive what they do
The ending is as I suspected, although extremely well hidden and I started to doubt my own conclusion until the very last few pages
If the amount of false starts and poor planning hadn't been so numerous then this would have been. 4* book, possibly even 5* and I rarely give those

A terrific series

Well, I didn't see that coming. Lol! As the story continues, it's getting questionable about who exactly will win. Although Noah and his old/new teammates are giving it their all, they're only able to do so much against a massive army, especially when they have genetically enhanced super soldiers to fight constantly. However, the tides will turn, but which way? It's something that you'll have to read to find out!
I am curious about the next book, but I refuse to give spoilers.
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and outstanding author.

book 26

I have read every Noah Wolf book and this was the first one I seriously thought I would stop reading before the end! It was very disturbing and depressing! It was very hard to go past the point of a child and a beloved character being murdered. I continued the read not really wanting to and, yes it turned out okay but I don’t know if I could read another book. I understand not everything can work out in stories but this was a very difficult read.

Wow, what a ride! This is action packed from start to finish! Every turn seems to bring Noah further towards the brink of defeat and no matter what action he takes, the Council is one step ahead.
There are cetainly some unexpected twists and turns and this book certainly kept me awake into the wee small hours in my eagerness to know what happened next.
If you want a roller coaster ride, you need to read this book! (But read those that go before otherwise you will be lost)

Heartstopping

Now they've resuscitated my heart, I'm without sufficient words to express the admiration I have for the authors of this series! This has been a rollercoaster ride from Book 1 to 27 and I have loved and hated each one! Noah and team were amazing but Allison was truly a work in progress and made it a surreal, but believable, ending! Thank you!!!

This was a very exciting book which I thoroughly enjoyed. I suppose you could read it as a standalone novel but 100% better if you’ve read all the books in the series. I’ve enjoyed reading all the lead ups to the next book and the way all the characters are developed. With this book I got so worried about what was going to happen, I actually read the last few pages! That’s unheard of with me.

One world order books

The action is terrific. That said I’m getting tired of the authors I read stringing out the one world takeover. It’s become a thing. I’ll continue to read but much prefer stories ending in a novel or so

A New Beginning,? Ending?

An ending, beginning or merely a continuation? Olympus Must Fall has all the answers. Not too many authors can keep a series running smoothly this long, David Archer and Vince Vogel have consistently made each episode better than the previous ones.

Terrible Don't Read

This is the worst book in the Noah Wolf series and I've enjoyed everyone but this one. The whole storyline is upside down compared to the previous books in the series.

Noah Wolf 26

I have read every book in the series and through this book I seriously thought it might be the last one. Then remarkably the Dragon Lady, whom I had written off as a evil B surprised me! Great Read !!! GWP 🇨🇦

This was excellent. Allison had done a lot of terrible things. Killing Noah wife all her friends but in the end she ended the Council from with in. Saving Norah and Sally and letting Noah escape and find the others. Great ending. 10 stars plus!!! Thanks, Carl Clause

Non Stop Action!

Lots of action leads our heroes to an amazing conclusion. I think this is the best Noah Wolf novel of them all.
Now I’m going to catch up on some sleep, since I haven’t been able to stop reading until the end.
